torch.tile

torch.tile(input, reps) → Tensor

Constructs a tensor by repeating the elements of input. The reps argument specifies the number of repetitions in each dimension.

If reps specifies fewer dimensions than input has, then ones are prepended to reps until all dimensions are specified. For example, if input has shape (8, 6, 4, 2) and reps is (2, 2), then reps is treated as (1, 1, 2, 2).

Analogously, if input has fewer dimensions than reps specifies, then input is treated as if it were unsqueezed at dimension zero until it has as many dimensions as reps specifies. For example, if input has shape (4, 2) and reps is (3, 3, 2, 2), then input is treated as if it had the shape (1, 1, 4, 2).

Note

This function is similar to NumPy’s tile function.

Parameters

• input (Tensor) – the tensor whose elements to repeat.
• reps (tuple) – the number of repetitions per dimension.

Example:

>>> x = torch.tensor([1, 2, 3])
>>> x.tile((2,))
tensor([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3])
>>> y = torch.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> torch.tile(y, (2, 2))
tensor([[1, 2, 1, 2],
        [3, 4, 3, 4],
        [1, 2, 1, 2],
        [3, 4, 3, 4]])
